Hi,
It's difficult to know-
I can tell you my own experience with my T and her reasons for disclosing sometimes.
I find it difficult to share, to tell things,to admit when I'm not doing well, etc, and not to feel shame. The times she has chosen to disclose personal information, it has been to show me that she's human, that she understands, that it is ok, that everyone needs help sometimes, etc.
She has told me that she sometimes takes a mild anti-anxiety medication (this was in reference to me taking medication and how hard it was for me), she has told me that we all feel pain and we all need a little help sometimes...
When she has shared personal things like this, feelings, her own vulnerability sometimes, I've felt closer to her and much much safer and hopeful. I still see her as a very strong person- her own life experiences have made her who she is and I see her as a very strong person especially because of them.Maybe your T wanted you to feel it is ok to
need help sometimes?all the best
Frida
